4 PAIR BEATS THREE OF 4 KIND.

1t is a humid day when Governor Hill does
not conceive some new device for making him
self solid with the voters though to be sure the
voters don't always agree with him as to the
best method of sOlidfying. He has organized a
lively and variegated literary bureau by means
OF which Texas, Oregon and other outlying dis
tricts are made acquainted with the portenous
fact that he us Democrat" He has probably
visited more Of those rural assembagcs which
ARENAS Ward called pure agricultural horse
trots" than any other living man; he has given
his Irish friends to understand that he considers
it the greatest misfortune OF his life that he
has never had chance TO fight bleed and die
for the old country his sal lies open to the
Western granger, and he is ready with without
a moments notice to dig bait with the New
England fishermen.
1t is only within n few days, however, that the
Governor has played his best card, but now there
can be no doubt that the ace Of trumps is out.
He has offered prize Of s25 for the best pair OF
coored twins exhibited at the coming fair in
East Aurora. IL is master stroke, and its brill
fancy becomes perfectly dazzling when contrasted
with President Cleveland's offer Of a ten dollar
gold piece for the most engaging set of tIipl Is
presented upon the same suspicious occasion. Not
only is the Governors generosity two and one
discrimination is equal to his muniGcencc There
is n certain ostentation in putting a premium on
triplets, whereas the Governor, in drawing the
line Mt a good pair, has shown a deIicacy and
sobriety of Judgment which stamp him at once
as statesman and patriot. Ilehas taken to heart
the proverb that two company and three q
crowd, and in these degenerate days 1t is great
merit in public man to cling TO those time
hOnOred maXims which have come down to us
from a frugal and God fearing ancestry. But more
than ths-whercaS the Presidents offer, being
open to the whCl, American peopl has trace of
the supercilous about it and Is there
fore I'm tho nature OF things unlikely
to have any advantageous effect upon
the next election, the Governors liability
comes home TO a single race with all the force
OF n magnanimous preference. Truly the Governor
was not born yesterday and it is very improbable
that he Will die tomorrow.
